MI HB5936

Amends the Michigan Employment Security Act regarding unemployment compensation fund accounts and benefit eligibility disqualifications.

Modifies Section 17 to clarify how nonchargeable benefits accounts are credited and charged, including transfers of balances when employers cease operations or change status.

Modifies Section 29 to clarify disqualification rules for individuals leaving work voluntarily, being discharged for misconduct, or failing to meet work-seeking requirements; establishes different requalification periods based on disqualification type and benefit year dates.

Adds new provision allowing individuals who leave work to accept permanent full-time employment with another employer or accept recall to avoid disqualification under voluntary leaving rules; charges resulting benefits to the new employer or nonchargeable benefits account.

Clarifies that late employer notices of possible ineligibility or disqualification cannot retroactively disqualify individuals for claim periods before the commission receives the notice.
